\f0\fs24 \cf0 Thank you for reading this poor readme. Way too few people do that these days.\

ratmac is the Mac version of rat, which is a tool to extract the RFA files used by Battlefield 1942. This binary will work only on Intel, not PowerPC, and it requires Mac OS X 10.5. Could work on lower, but don't blame me if it doesn't. Testing has been more than limited, so if it doesn't work, well, too bad.\

\b Notes for users
\b0 \
\
To use, invoke it with\
\
ratmac -u <Path to the file you want to extract>\
\
It'll extract the folder in the current directory. Other flags are specified, but don't actually work, so don't waste your time. And don't look at me, I didn't make this stuff, I only ported it more or less. If you want to compress again, sorry, can't do that.\

\b Notes for developers

This is Rat 0.5.0, the source release directly from http://sourceforge.net/projects/r2at/ (the project's homepage). The code isn't beautiful or anything. You'll find some traces of me trying to solve the endianess issues, so it'll work on PowerPC, but I failed. Instead of a makefile, I use an Xcode 3 project file. Nothing really interesting.\
\
This port was made by Torsten Kammer, http://ferroequinologist.de/\
rat was originally made by Blackjap Ribbenmanrichenburgros and Tonto Rostenfaunt according to the project's site, which is http://sourceforge.net/projects/r2at/\
\
It's all released under GPL version 2.0. The original code doesn't mention what version, so I guess it's safest to assume just 2.0, nothing else, because that's the license file that was in there.\
\
If your not sure what this means: It means you can give ratmac to anyone and do anything with it, as long as you include all the files in this archive except for the ratmac file, which can be generated from the others. If you changed any of the files, put in the changed version instead.\

Have fun!}
